1 Kings 17:24 "And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth."
It is strange that Elijah had been living in the house with the widow and her son for quite some time apparently, and every day the widow had evidence of Elijah's legitimacy. She had been prepared to make her final meal, down to the last drops of oil and final handful of meal, when Elijah came and God provided them food everyday. But this was apparently not enough to fully convince her.
It is no wonder that Jesus marveled every time He saw a great display of faith while on earth. It is rare and often very hard to come by. Our fleshly minds become so numbed with the day to day living that we lose sight of the daily miracles God is performing in our lives.
Perhaps that is where you are, a tragic incident has robbed you of the faith that was being built day by day through God's powerful hand working through the daily grind. If so, it should only take a backwards glance to revive that faith.
What can I look back on to grow my faith on the face of challenges today?
